I use to (and mainly still) do, however, on PocketTopo drawing window 
you can turn off the other surveys by not selecting show all. (I think 
it was Ben cooper who showed me this.) This has made me a partial 
convert. However in the data window, all the legs are still shown, so I 
find it unusable after about 200 stations. Also I do not think in 
Toporobot, and having unique numbers for stations does my head in.

(okay so that was not strickly Therion so to have some relevance)
When I move it in to Therion I the put it back into separate folders, 
otherwise I find the multiple files you get makes a complete mess,

My data set can be found at

Built mainly from PocketTopo, whether good or bad it works for me
